2005 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · KG05 AEE

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 18 November 2022 at 145,224 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This suggests the car was in a roadworthy condition at that time, but the lack of any testing for nearly four years means the current mechanical state is unknown. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 17,266 miles between the November 2021 test at 127,958 miles and the November 2022 test at 145,224 miles. This period of higher usage contrasts with the overall average of 6,915 miles per year. The records show the car has remained stationary at 145,224 miles since late 2022, indicating a prolonged period of inactivity. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of components that degrade during long-term standing. Brake discs often develop surface corrosion or seize, and tyres may suffer from flat-spotting or perishing despite having legal tread. The absence of recent MOT data means there is no current verification of the structural integrity or the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Special attention should be paid to the fuel system and battery health given the multi-year gap in usage. Check for signs of chassis corrosion, as the lack of recent movement often masks rust progression in the sills and floor pans. A full mechanical sympathy check is required to ensure the engine and drivetrain remain operational after such a long dormant period.
